Chen Wins One Before Break

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Christoffer Brandsborg was in the hijack and opened to 22,000. He was three-bet to 68,000 by Virgil Grecu, who was in the cutoff, putting action onto Pete Chen on the button. Chen thought for a bit and then cold-called, prompting quick folds from the players in the blinds. Brandsborg folded quickly behind.

The flop came {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Grecu checked. Chen postured for a moment and then put out a continuation-bet of 70,000. Grecu quickly folded and Chen took down the pot.

Philipp Zukernik: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Jepsen Sent To Payouts

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Metin Cevik opened to 22,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet all in by Thomas Jepsen, who was in the small blind. Cevik asked for a count, which was totaled to be 74,000, and then thought about it for a bit. He said something to Jepsen, who responded with the likes of being unsure if he had fold equity. Cevik thought some more and then decided to make the call.

Thomas Jepsen: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Metin Cevik: {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Jepsen was ahead until the flop came {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, giving Cevik a pair of tens. He would not improve on the turn {2-Hearts}, leaving one last chance at a double. The river {q-Diamonds} left Jepsen dry, resulting in his elimination from the tournament as Cevik saw the pot sent his way, bringing his stack up to 700,000.

One Frenchman Eliminates Another

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Stacks got into the middle preflop as Gilles Lamy was at risk for his remaining chips from the big blind, having gotten action from Mehdi Violleau who was in the hijack. The two pleasantly exchanged a few words in French upon tabling their hands.

Gilles Lamy: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Mehdi Violleau: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs}, leaving the landscape unchanged.

"Ten!" said Lamy, code-switching into English as the turn came {5-Clubs}

"No ten!" joked Violleau, following suit before the river {3-Clubs} fell clean for him, fulfilling his wish and earning the knockout in the process.

Lampinen Blasts Reilly

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Thomas Quaade was in the hijack and opened to 21,000, prompting a reraise all in from Thomas Reilly out of the cutoff. Action made its way to Jyrki Lampinen, who was in the big blind and asked for a count. The number was 149,000 and Lampinen announced a call, sending Quaade into the tank for over a minute before he sent his cards to the muck.

Thomas Reilly: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Jyrki Lampinen: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Reilly's tens had run into a pair of bullets and found himself shot down as the board ran out {6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, resulting in his elimination from the tournament. Quaade and Reilly exchanged pleasantries as Reilly got up from his seat, wishing the rest of the table good luck as he did so.

"What did you have?" asked Lampinen to Quaade, who told Lampinen he had ace-queen as Lampinen stacked his newly-acquired chips.

Vasyl Zabrodskyy: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Im spiked a deuce on the flop {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and held as the turn {7-Spades} and river {4-Diamonds} finished the runout, leaving her queens and deuces best to earn her the pot and the double.
